The main ingredient in lipstick is pigment, which provides the color. It also contains oils to moisturize and spread the lipstick colors; and wax to keep its shape. The ratios of these ingredients may vary but the more pigment it has, the more it dries your lips. Lipstick is available in stick, cream and frosted formulas, and in a wide range of colors. Some can last several hours of wear before having to reapply. Some lipsticks offer high solid coverage, while others are sheer and natural. Since, some formulas may feel dry on the lips, you may want to test them before you purchase. The five basic types are sheer, shimmer, cream, matte, and long-lasting. Lipstick colors application is the funnest and easiest part of face makeup partly because there are not as many 'rules' to follow and because the color you put on your lips changes your appearance instantly. You can transform your look from natural pinks to dramatic reds just by changing colors.You can even make your own unique color combinations by mixing lipstick colors on your lips to define your mouth, add color to your face and balance your overall look. That way you can customize your lip color to create the effect you want and to match different clothes. Your lip colors can range from natural looking pinks and beiges, to oranges, to dramatic and elegant reds. And, as a finishing touch, make sure that your lipstick goes with your blusher.Your choice of lipstick colors usually depends on several factors, including the colors of the clothing you are wearing. Your lipstick color should complement your outfit, not clash with it. The most popular lipstick colors are: plum, fever, skin tone, red, pink and neutral. The occasion and dress style (casual or formal) are also determining factors. For casual wear natural colors would be more appropriate while deeper colors such as dark reds would be preferable for a party or formal events.Lip liner keeps lipstick within the bounds of your lips and defines the outlines of your mouth to create a crisp, sharp border for coloring your lips. This outline helps make the color last, and prevents lip color from "bleeding".Lip pencils are used to correct the shape of unbalanced lips since it is easier than it is when using lipstick only. They are made from a much harder wax than lipstick and with less oil. Lip liners are available in a variety of colors and should match and blend with your lipstick colors.When shopping for a lip pencil, choose a shade that is not more than one tone darker than your lipstick and test the quality on the back of your hand by drawing a line and rubbing it lightly with your finger. If it smudges, it is too greasy and if it flakes and pulls your skin, it is too dry.
